Threads, the highly anticipated Twitter rival from Meta, has finally been released. While the countdown page may have been underwhelming, users who pre-ordered the app can now download it. Currently, the app appears to be a bit sparse, with a similar user interface to Instagram and a feed that suggests accounts to follow, similar to Twitter’s “For You” feature. Threads has been compared to the early days of Twitter, where users were simply happy to have a new platform to chat on. Despite some concerns about its data harvesting practices, Threads aims to provide a stable platform for Twitter refugees. Exciting times lie ahead in the world of social media.
In some early sightings, Twitter users have reported that Threads is available for download on their iPhones, but they are unable to log in. The error message states that their accounts do not meet the requirements to use Threads, suggesting that the app may not be fully ready for use yet. However, the official launch of the app is just a few hours away, so users won’t have to wait long to try it out.
In a surprise twist, the countdown timer for the launch of Threads has jumped forward, indicating that the app will be available in just a few hours. Users in the US and UK can expect to download the app at 7pm ET / 4pm PT or 12am BST on July 6. Those who want to be among the first to use the app can pre-download it from the app store using the QR code on the Threads countdown site.
The Fairphone 4, known for its easy repairability and sustainability, has now arrived in the US. However, the US version of the phone will run on /e/OS instead of Google Play-enabled Android. While this may make it too niche for some users, it offers an alternative to the standard Android phones available on the market. The Murena Fairphone 4 is priced at $599 for the 6GB RAM / 128GB storage version and $679 for the 8GB RAM / 256GB storage version.
Meanwhile, at Twitter, Elon Musk has remained quiet about Meta’s actions, focusing instead on addressing the issues plaguing Twitter. After the recent rate limit incident caused by spam bots, Twitter is now attempting to roll back a change that required users to be logged in to view Tweets. The reasons behind these issues are still uncertain, but Twitter will be looking forward to the weekend.
A list of early access users for Threads has been revealed, including Mark Zuckerberg, Adam Mosseri, and various other celebrities and influencers with large Instagram followings. One of the key features of Threads is the ability for Instagram users to transfer their usernames to the new app, so now is the time to ensure your handle is in order.
